What to do???

I bought this sweet little extendable table from a wonderful lady in country Victoria. I had been looking for a table with some character for some time.

Clearly in need of a 'Re-Vintage'!
I want a table with a scrubbed top and painted legs and thought this would do the job.



Pretty detail that would paint up and distress nicely.


The legs have already been sanded back and given two coats of primer ready for the fun part! (yes- pre sanded and primed shot)




BUT!

The thin coat of worn veneer and glue has sanded back to reveal plywood with timber edging where I had hoped for solid wood that I could leave and wax for a natural finish!
I should have known!
Any suggestions??????

ps- New cushion available in my little blog shop 'Shop Re-Vintaged'.
Just click on the link in the right hand column to have a look :)
